This is an exciting theme with all the confusion about is it a 'fruit' or a 'vegetable' depending on the usage! It seems the truth is the seeds, or the ovaries in the base of the flower!
But even then, there are discrepancies, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may fall under the veggie list because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking.
So I begin with something that has become a veggie but began as a fruit.
Any guesses?

Pickles! Yea!
ohhh delicious pickles! this makes my mouth water.... I definitely have a sharp tooth (opposite of 'sweet tooth') - much rather have a pickle than some cake or whatever.
isn't rhubarb a fruit? it is here ;)
For Writer! All great veggies, Dad's plate is so nicely decorated! Very cool....cute little Keenan and I think I remember seeing those naked baby carrot jockeys when you posted them before...I think they really rock!
Alexia, they are very delicious too....hard to stop eating them too! ...and I'm glad you brought up the fruit issue with rhubarb, over here it's listed as a vegetable although, I'm sure some will argue that as well...especially those who like to put them in salads...or pies...
Max, Monster is adorable, but highly protective, possibly because he's an outdoor Tom!
Thanks for such an entertaining post - and for pointing me towards a thematic photograph meme I can join in with this week
Great pickles! Makes me want to try making some!
And rhubarb is a fruit here - you make it into pies or crumbles, with lots of sugar!
Alan- Yes! Please do! You'll just love playing along and viewing all the other very creative twists and turns that always come about! Can't wait to see yours!
Gilly- I tried looking at your post on TP but kept getting an ad....repost ok?
Oh I love home made pickles and chutneys. Your display is so mouthwatering too. Now how come you haven’t made rhubarb chutney (or jam)?
Great pics, making me hungry :)
Your last photo is adorable!
I'm getting very confused by what's a fruit and what is a vegetable. What the hell, who cares as long as you can eat it? We have the reference books out.
Entertaining as usual Karen.
I've always wanted to make my own pickles. My uncles did, but they never had a chance to pass it down. I think I need to go online and figure it out for myself. It seems like such a wonderful way to be self sustaining.
Monster looks like he's like a big cat hug!
Oops..."he'd", not "he's".
Sheesh, I can't type today! Sorry.
